Surah An Nur ayat 50 Tafsir Quran 24:50

﴿أَفِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ أَمِ ارْتَابُوا أَمْ يَخَافُونَ أَن يَحِيفَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَرَسُولُهُ ۚ بَلْ أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ﴾
[ النور: 50]

24:50 Is there disease in their hearts? Or have they doubted? Or do they fear that Allah will be unjust to them, or His Messenger? Rather, it is they who are the wrongdoers.

Is there a sickness disbelief in their hearts? Or are they in doubt are they uncertain of his prophethood or do they fear that God and His Messenger will be unjust to them? in judgement in other words that they will be wronged therein? No! Rather those they are the wrongdoers for shunning him.

Do they reflect the morbidity inherent in their innermost being or do they doubt the Messengers integrity or do they fear that Allah and His Messenger may deviate from the path of justice and from the principle of just dealing! No, but they are indeed the wrongful of actions

(24:50) Are their hearts afflicted with the disease (of hypocrisy)? Or, are they in doubt? Or, do they fear that Allah and His Messenger will be unjust to them ? In fact, they themselves are unjust. *80

Is there disease in their hearts? Or meaning

*80) That is, there can be only three reasons for such a conduct.
First, a person may not have believed at all but may only be posing as a Muslim in order to enjoy the benefits of belonging to the Muslim community.
Secondly, he might have believed but may still be having doubts about the reality of the Prophethood, Revelations, life-after-death, and even the existence of AIlah Himself.
Thirdly, he may be a believer but might at the same time be apprehending injustice from Allah and His Prophet and considering their Commands disadvantageous to him personally in one way or the other.
There can be no doubt that the people belonging to any of these categories are themselves unjust.
A person who, having such doubts and suspicions, enters the Muslim community and enjoys undeserved benefits posing himself as a member thereof, is indeed a deceiver, cheat and forger.
He is not only doing injustice to himself, practising constant falsehood and developing the meanest traits of character, but he is being unjust to the Muslim people as well, who look upon him as one of themselves merely on the basis of his verbal profession of the Faith and let him enjoy all sorts of social, cultural, political and moral relations with them as such.

 

( Is there in their hearts a disease ) doubt and hypocrisy, ( or have they doubts ) concerning Allah and His Messenger, ( or fear they lest Allah and His messenger should wrong them in judgement? Nay, but such are evil-doers ) who harm themselves and are further hypocrites.

Is there a disease in their hearts? Or do they doubt or fear lest Allah and His Messenger (SAW) should wrong them in judgement. Nay, it is they themselves who are the Zalimun (polytheists, hypocrites and wrong-doers, etc.).
